This thread might need a major update. When I began asking around, about how to import a short clip from a commercial DVD into Adobe Premier (Elements, Version 11, if that matters), it was pointed out to me that VOB files, from DVD's will go directly in, and can be edited in the conventional ways.
If one wants to make a VOB file shorter, DVD-Shrink is a free utility that will do that, in a lossless manner. And, note also that a VOB file from nearly any commercial DVD can (now) be copied directly to a hard drive, using basic Windows copy-and-paste or drag-and-drop steps; and, once there, [spam] can also crop off the beginning and the end, to provide a small and convenient clip.
So . . . does that approach completely bypass all the other steps listed in the posts above?
